その理由は次のとおりです。
* 物理的変化: Evaporation does not alter the chemical composition of the substance. Water molecules remain H₂O whether they are in liquid or gaseous form.
* 相変化: Evaporation is the transition of a substance from a liquid state to a gaseous state.
* Physical change of state: This further emphasizes that the change is only in the physical arrangement of the molecules, not the chemical bonds themselves.
Other key points:
* Evaporation is an endothermic process 、つまり、周囲からの熱を吸収します。
* Evaporation is driven by the kinetic energy of the molecules 。 Faster moving molecules have enough energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them in the liquid state and escape into the gas phase.
